was taken after a meeting with Canal

on Water’ project. |
March | Museum of London Docklands – I ran some
training with the museum’s tour guides on developing tours specifically for
family audiences |
April | HRP Tower of London – my colleague Lucie and I carried out some research to inform the development of a co-created audio experience for visitors aged 11 – 19 to the Tower of London. |
May | Some colleagues
and I conducted research across the South
East Music Education Hubs, conducting interviews with various Hub leads,
representatives from Bridge organisations and Arts Council England Relationship Managers to look
at the overall picture of provision across the region. |

July | Film London – during the summer we were at Hackney Picturehouse evaluating the ‘Cultivate’ training course for film education professionals. |

September | LSO – my colleague Jacqui and I conducted some focus groups for the orchestra, reviewing their print marketing with their frequent and less frequent concert goers. |
October | This pic of the Thames on a lovely grey day was taken from the balcony at City Hall where the Ageing Well in London conference was held, which brought together key voices from research, health, culture, sport, voluntary sector, social care, public health and local government to explore ways in which older Londoners can lead active and fulfilling lives. |
November | I ran some training with young ambassadors for the Pen to Print project at Barking Library, helping them develop skills in consultation and marketing in order to promote the library and its events more widely to their peers. |
December | Vestry House Museum – last week was spent mainly at this old work house in Walthamstow, soaking up the local history while conducting audience research utilising this visitor journey mapping technique (among others). |
